Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 22

The young boy's eyes sank, and he said angrily: "They don't mean anything, they will save my mother, but..." The boy's eyes turned red, originally he didn't want to cry in front of others, but looking at Zhao Mingyue, he didn't know what to do. He choked up as he spoke.

It seemed that he knew about his mother's death, and Mingyue couldn't help feeling sad, she put down her arms around her chest, and sighed inwardly.Everything is justifiable, and she can understand the reason for the teenager to inform, but some things will cause causal effects once they are done.

The young boy wiped his eyes, held back his tears and said indignantly, "King Yan's life is life, but others' lives are not? Why do so many people have to die just to keep him alive?"

She couldn't answer him.Is there any kind of empress and general Xiangning?I'm afraid it's the unreconciled and unchangeable contrast in many people's hearts.

Zhao Mingyue asked lightly: "Now, did you think of the result you told them?"

The young man's face immediately lost all color: "I, I didn't know they would die, didn't they say it was voluntary? Since they don't want to, they should be let go..."

Maybe Wu Xu and the others originally thought this way, if you like me, they offered to let those people be their replacements.But in the end, who is willing to tell those replacements that their end is death.

It is not true that people make money and birds die for food. When their lives are almost gone, many people are willing to pray and exchange all their wealth for their own lifespans.So, the body is the capital of any revolution.

Mingyue sighed secretly, facing a 12-year-old boy, she couldn't help saying earnestly: "Everyone has their own destiny, rich and poor live and die, sometimes people can't interfere."

"Then why are you helping me?"

"Why are so many people asking me why today?" Chu Ziyan did the same just now, "No matter why, it's not for helping you."

"Is it the same that night?" The young man looked at her with bright eyes, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died."

He actually found her that night?So just now when he met her in the place where he wanted to hide, he left in a hurry, because he was worried that she would be found by the guards and hurt her?He is also a caring child.

Seeing that he is so sensible, Mingyue doesn't know what to say.

The young man resolutely said, "I knew from the first moment I saw you that you are not an ordinary person."

Oh?Can this child see that she is not an ordinary person?But that's not right, even if she came here through soul travel, she is still just an ordinary person after all, right?The unusual thing is that she is an onmyoji.

After thinking about it, he felt relieved, it is not a good thing to be Chu Ziyan's substitute, but this person must have a special fate, in addition to having a good birth date, he must also be blessed by lucky stars, so this young man is naturally a special case.

But she still asked a lot: "How do you know I'm not ordinary?"

"There is light in you."

"Light?" She never knew there were such things.

But the young man said seriously: "Well, King Yan is very dark, but you have light... There is also a maid in the house who is very dark..."

Zhao Mingyue narrowed her eyes, could it be that he has yin and yang eyes?This is amazing. "You can usually see things that others cannot see, such as some... people that others cannot see."

The young boy shook his head: "It's just that some people see different lights."

Or maybe it’s not Yin-Yang eyes, some people can see the light of blessings and disasters on each other’s body, that’s why there is the saying “Yintang turns black”. Onmyojis can also see these after they have psychic powers.

"Perhaps you are expected to be an onmyoji..." Zhao Mingyue looked at the child who came to be a surrogate in order to save his mother, and rubbed his head with his hand, "If there is a chance to leave the palace in the future, eat more and grow stronger." Don't be bullied, goodbye."

Mingyue turned around, and the boy stretched out his hand to grab her sleeve, and said sincerely and expectantly, "I, my name is Lu Yanqing!"

Zhao Mingyue nodded: "Yes."

"I know your name is Zhao Mingyue."

Zhao Mingyue raised her eyebrows: "Ah, I'm leaving, so stop messing around and go back quickly."

Lu Yanqing was a little bit reluctant, but slowly let go of her hand: "I owe you, I will definitely pay it back in the future."

There may not be a chance, Zhao Mingyue refused to answer, she was thinking of leaving this place, not having any grievances with the people here, and saving people is just out of morality, it's just a little effort.

Zhao Mingyue said that she would not leave Prince Yan's mansion, but there were still many guards guarding her in the mansion, for fear that she would run away.He secretly guarded against her, but on the surface he sent her sugar-coated cannonballs and rich food.

Yesterday she was still wearing a short brown dress that a servant would wear, but today she was wearing a brocade dress, such a high-profile material that even Chu Ziyan might not be able to wear, Zhao Mingyue felt like a nouveau riche.

After returning from Beiyuan yesterday, I saw a few imperial doctors going in and out of Jing'an Hall. The master was seriously ill and didn't need to deliver food, so until today's dinner time, Su Wanrong sneaked into the academy and asked her to deliver the food to Jing'an Hall .

Still as usual, Mingyue pushed open the door of Jing'an Hall with her lunch box.

The difference is that the outer hall is not empty today, Chu Ziyan is sitting steadily by the window, seemingly waiting for her.

Zhao Mingyue lowered her head and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness." After saying hello, she put the lunch box on the table, put out the food inside one by one, and walked back with the box, "Your Highness, please eat."

"My king heard about it..." Chu Ziyan said suddenly, his voice was neither strong nor warm.

Mingyue stopped in her tracks, lowered her eyes and listened respectfully.

Chu Ziyan was wearing a loose white robe, and his black hair was draped around his body like satin. Under the black hair, his face was sickly pale, and his lips had lost their color, but there was a slight mocking arc.

"I heard that you used your own life to gamble on your future glory and wealth."

Sure enough, although Chu Ziyan didn't ask anything about the affairs of the mansion, he even seemed indifferent to the matters of the substitute, but in fact, how could he keep the affairs of the mansion from him?Didn't Wu Xu tell Chu Ziyan what she said last night?
"Why don't you answer?"

"What does Your Highness want to answer?"

"You want to be my king's blessing for the sake of glory and wealth?"

Even so, he doesn't need to be so angry, right?Moreover, after using so many years of substitutes, is it possible that he still asked one by one why he wanted to be his substitute?
"Did Mingyue make His Highness angry by doing this?"

Chu Ziyan looked at her drooping head, then at the brocade dress on her body, and looked her up and down, the anger and disappointment on her body suddenly disappeared, he laughed, his eyes dried up, and his voice became lower and more indifferent.

"This king thought you were different..."

"What's the difference?"

"Many people have volunteered to be the blessings of this king for the so-called glory and wealth. This king can give them a lot of money, but so far no one has the life to enjoy it."

"So His Highness is angry because he is worried that Mingyue will die? Or is he angry because Mingyue is greedy for money?"

From the moment he started to get angry, Mingyue couldn't figure out where his anger came from?

"Actually, why should you be angry? Your Highness has money and power but lives are weaker, so we need Fuzhao's protection. We have no money and power but fate, so we are willing to come to Fuzhao to ask for a little wealth. This is just a matter of everyone needed."

"It turns out that everything you do is just what you need..."

Chu Ziyan couldn't say why he was disappointed, he coughed softly, then heaved a long sigh and got up and walked to the dinner table.

A bowl of glutinous white porridge is still steaming on the table, and a few plates of delicate side dishes are appetizing, and there is a bottle of medicine on the side, these... are just what they need.

He sat down slowly, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's right, this king took so many lives, why did I ask them about their status? Why should I feel sorry for you now?"

He laughed again indifferently.

"Indeed, I don't care if you live or not, as long as I live." Chu Ziyan suddenly tilted his head and smiled at her, that smile actually made people feel a little terrified, "Since you want to be my king's Fu Zhao , then the king will see how many days you can live."

Seeing a rather weak person with a strong temper, completely unpredictable, Mingyue wisely refrained from arguing with him, and said respectfully: "Then Mingyue will leave..."

"Go and call Wu Xu over, you can take office now."

"……"So fast?Didn't you resist just now?
"It's you who wanted this king to use you as a Fuzhao to inform other people, didn't you?"

Yes, that's how she admitted to Wu Xu yesterday.

"Yes."

"This king will fulfill you, let you bear all my disasters, and give you endless glory and wealth." His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, with no waves, "I hope you can live through July and a half."

It was like cursing her, no wonder he was so sad!The stinky guy has a bad temper. Zhao Mingyue, who walked out of Jing'an Hall, looked back at the door, and muttered disdainfully: "Why live past July and a half, my little lady will live for the four seasons every year..."

She invited Wu Xu, and she brought Lu Yanqing to Jing'an Hall together.

Wu Xu first unlocked Lu Yanqing's life lock, which connected Lu Yanqing and Chu Ziyan.Wu Xu silently recited the incantation of yin and yang, swiped down the mahogany sword, and the pair of bells on Lu Yanqing's legs fell off.

And Lu Yanqing's leg was already bruised to a large extent, it was infected by Chu Ziyan's evil energy absorbed by the life lock, and after the life lock was broken, the child became more angry.

Wu Xu said: "The spell between you and King Yan is temporarily unlocked. If Zhao Mingyue's fate fails to match, then you have to plant the spell back."

Lu Yanqing did not answer Wu Xu but looked at Zhao Mingyue who was at the side.

After burning incense and purifying herself, Zhao Mingyue sat cross-legged in the circle, and did not make any eye contact with Lu Yanqing, as if she had never seen him before.

Lu Yanqing frowned and looked forward at Chu Ziyan who was sitting quietly.

Chu Ziyan's expression was indifferent and indifferent, occasionally a slight cough was the only sound he made.

Wu Xu took out a spherical bell, the size of a thumb, with a small crack at the front end, and it was hollow inside.Wu Xu said to Zhao Mingyue: "Stretch out your hand."

Zhao Mingyue stretched out her right hand, and Wu Xu made a cut on her index finger, a drop of dark red blood dripped into the bell like a red pearl, the bell's opening was very small, but the blood did not stain the entrance and all entered the bell.

Wu Xu walked up to Chu Ziyan, and said respectfully, "I need to take a drop of Your Highness's blood for a humble position."
